Why these settings

The Aroma AG-10S is a mini practice amplifier with only Volume, Treble, and Bass controls, so Mid, Presence, and Reverb are omitted. Set the channel button to Clean and keep the volume low enough to prevent solid-state breakup. Push the Treble to 7 on the amp and select the neck+middle split on the HSH Ibanez to emulate John Sykes' glassy Strat 'quack'.

PRO TIPPick lightly near the bridge saddles with a thin-to-medium pick; the sharp mechanical attack combined with the neck+middle split replicates the classic DI rack compression feel of the original recording.
